1. Take losing weight one day at a time
Forget about the amount of work it will take to get to your weight loss goals. Just focus on making the right decisions TODAY.
Many people get overwhelmed and discouraged when they think about loosing weight because they feel it is too difficult. However, if you can just make the right decisions today, your weight loss will come without stress and very quickly.

Find a friend that shares your goals and make it a daily routine to call each other up and discuss your progress. Having your weight loss partner is likely to boost your chances of success on any diet by 1,000% or more!
3. Lift weights
It doesn't matter if you lift bodyweight, iron, sand weight or any other type of weight. The important thing is to consistently use muscle in your daily activities to help raise your metabolism.
4. Eat fewer carbs
Carbs will keep you from losing weight, it's just that simple. If you reduce your carb intake, you will automatically begin losing weight.
5. Set a goal
Set a deadline to lose the weight and write it down. Use a wedding, vacation, or other time sensitive event to motivate you for quick results.

According to a recent study, drinking one can of soda per day will add 10lbs. of fat to your body every year!
7. Grill or boil
Avoid fried meat, grill and use fresh spices and herbs for seasoning. You will find that your taste buds will become more sensitive to these spices over time.

Never shop on an empty stomach. When you do go to the local shopping market, just don't buy any junk food. You will find that you will crave these junk foods less and less as each day goes by.
9. Eat protein for breakfast
99% of America eats a diet high in sugar for breakfast. This kills your bodies ability to burn fat. Go high protein or don't eat breakfast at all.
